EDINBURGH MARINE GARDENS GREYHOUND STADIUM
This site is not an official website for the track shown here and is neither approved or endorsed by the stadium. I am indebted to Richard English for helping to construct this page. |
The Scottish capital city of Edinburgh has had a number of greyhound tracks in the past, including the most famous being at Powderhall. However, a less well known track was located on Marine Gardens in the capital and situated at 3° 7' W 55° 57' N. It first opened for racing on 2nd July 1932. |
Racing lasted at the track for 4 years before it finally closed in 1936. |
I am grateful to Jon Seddon for the following link to a map showing the whereabouts of the old track |
This section gives a comprehensive picture of
the badges produced by the track throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of
glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend
a visit to http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwgreyhoundd-21 where further reading can be undertaken. |
